I bought this 1989 Honda CRX Si locally for $1000 and put a ton of time and money into it to bring it back to life.

Too all the viewers complaining about not having enough time for their projects, just remember it only took 10 minutes for this man to completely restore his CRX.
Hahaha.
Just think if he had 30 mins
No to fix a CRX in10 minutes in that condition it would of taken 2 DAYS or more. He will just say that for the heading for views.
hahaha you sir...are a genius
Including all the uncut scenes. I think it's more than that. 14mins to be exact
I am 51 years old, to this day my 1989 CRX HF was my favorite car to own. I love to see the amount of pride you have in you work.
same here my guy
Im also 51 (july) and just purchased a 91 crx because I remember how much fun they were 25 years ago..lol
Same ‘89 crx HF. Im 40 years old.
hey my first car was an 89 HF!!!
@@Atr42Greasemonkey
Yep 52 here also!
Congrats on your new Crx man!
I've owned several Hondas over the years, and 2 of them were the Crx.
I love older Hondas lol
You're the only person I've ever seen scuff a car. I bet your paint job lasts 10x as long because of it. Very nice work!!
I respect that you corrected clear coat imperfections and then polished it. Fantastic finished product. I miss my 88 Si
I was expecting him to put some rice mods on it but he actually did a amazing restoration
It already had the Mugen parts
Not all Hondas are rice dude
@Lylee cow rice is when you put a really loud exhaust, lower the car extremely, camber (tilt) the wheels out a lot, and put dumb looking body modifications.
@Lylee cow yes bozozuku is fine because it is a part of Japanese culture. Rice is not.
@@BACayzer I don’t think you know what rice means my friend
Great video! It's a beautiful build. I hope you inspire others. So many need to know that you can change the world with sandpaper, a wire brush, a lot of physical labor and a can of spray paint.
Wow that car turned out incredible. That’s one of the cleanest restorations I’ve ever seen.
It is very admirable that you took your time and did all of that work making that Honda look fantastic, AND because you made a beautiful video of it as well! Congratulations on a job well done!
Love seeing this icon Honda’s being brought to life again. Just Amazing.
I wish I had the patience like you do when it comes to sanding and doing body filling,you made this car look really amazing good job 👍
I remember getting a CRX when I was 16. It was one of the coolest cars you could get at the time. I had mags and lowered it on the ground. I got an exhaust and pod filter and had it dyno tuned. I was running a 2 1/4 inch exhaust and it was quick. I used to pull the speedo cord out of the gearbox to allow the car to go beyond the 180 cut out. I would always drive the motorways at redline in 5th gear.
I had a CRX and then a Del Sol. Worst thing about them is how close the exhaust is behind you. I couldn't daily those again now that I'm older unless the exhaust was closer to stock.
@@seouljah760 totally agree. At the time, I had just the right note with the car. Nowadays, I want comfort.
@@usurper762 I love a good exhaust, just not at highway speeds. LoL.
How the hell did you get a Cr-x do hit 180mph??? I had a b17a1 tuned and dyno'd to 195 whp on Hondata s300 and couldn't crack 140 mph
@@chrissikora8097 180KPH maybe? That's 112MPH
That was fire. Such a clean build. So much love and time spent doing it right.
So glad to see that you actually masked off the valve cover when painting it, thank you! Lol, I hate how almost every single person in the Honda community will spray a valve cover without masking any of it off. Then they end up with paint in the plug tube holes and inside the valve cover, it always looks trashy that way, and why would they want paint inside their engine lmao
Takes more time and effort, but a much cleaner result.
Those jerks!
nothing will happen, i sprayed a couple without masking anything off
@Johannes Aize Obviously, but I'm glad you're okay with a half-assed job.
@@TrollinAreYou it isnt half assed, its just you paint it without maskin, put the oil cap on and the paint will tear easy because the threads are still a little greasy, take the oil cap off, put the valvecover on the engine and boom there you go freshly wrinkle paint valvecover without masking :) its not that i dont want to tape it off its just easier this way in my opinion
One of the most iconic and original designs Honda Motor Corp ever produced. Way cooler than it’s DelSol replacement. Classier lines than any generation of the Prelude ( which I am a huge fan of). I had a 1987 CRX Si in black. It was a really cool little 2 seater. That rear foam OEM spoiler was so strange. I kept it pristine, so when my buds found out that it was basically the consistency of a nerf football, they just had to ask for a punch in the jaw when they would press their thumbs into it, causing the paint to easily spider web and crack. What a strange, heavy material to use as their Si production spoiler??! …. So.. the next year (1988) when this version of the CRX was on the market, I just HAD TO HAVE IT. I had my heart on the Si version in yellow, but all my local dealerships never ordered any Si CRX’s. It wouldn’t have did any good if I did find an 88 Si, because they were too expensive. My credit only allowed for the economy friendly models. So I signed for the baby blue HF version in 5 speed, no A/C, one side view mirror lol. Back then A/C in a Honda was NOT STANDARD EQUIPMENT. You had to basically buy an Si which all came with the moonroof and A/C in the package, but the others had to be ordered. At least that’s what the dealers in my area told me. So here I was making payments for 36 months on a car without AC, standard roll up windows and I was as happy as can be because that 1988 HF model with the steel wheels still looked better and sportier than the previous 1987 Si tiny, boxy car I traded in. I loved that 1988 CRX. I loved going through its 5 gears and rolling up to the gas station only once a week and topping off the 10 gallon gas tank with a 5 dollar bill of 89¢ per gallon of 89 octane.
Later in life I needed more than 2 seats to get by in life, so I sold my little light blue CRX and bought a used, immaculate condition 1989 Honda Accord coupe. I think it was an EX model with power moon roof, very stylish pop up n down headlights. The 2 door coupe was still worth the cramped style of having my daughter’s car seat in the center back buckle. No way was I going to drive a 4 door Accord Sedan. Nice cars, but not my style. I have such happy memories of the days I drove those 3 Honda’s. My favorite will always be that new 88 CRX . Unfortunately, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find an unmolested, 2nd generation CRX on the market that wasn’t chopped and lowered or without a 4 feet high mess on the rear short hatch that some goof claimed was a wing or spoiler, oversized wheels and tires and a ragged out engine with some goofy aftermarket cold air intake and the original plastic air filtration and intake still with the car. You can thank Hollywood and Mr VIN DIESEL for making every high school boy of the 2000 era buying up every last available Honda CRX and ruining the factory handling with a set of Eibach Springs and throwing all original components away to be gone forever. So….thanks to all you Fast and the Furious idiots for ruining and making the CRX an extremely endangered species. I mean really, these cars were one of two varieties Honda had made. One was a super fuel efficient variety that sometimes got up to 50 miles per gallon on the highway and the other was a “ somewhat” zippy, tight handling Si model. They weren’t ever made to be a super car. Loud and stupid coffee can sided muffler tips speeding up the town’s Main Street annoying everyone as bad as a new Harley owner with newly install drag pipes. It was the end of the wonderful little CRX and I just only wish Honda would produce a retro model that had near identical styling and curves like the original. I’d buy one today if they sold them because that particular CRX (1988-1992-3? ) STILL looks as modern as the cars built and designed by Japanese companies today. It would sell too. So many young college and new to the work force youth would buy that car and enjoy its simplicity and extremely fuel efficient ways with a standard gasoline engine and a 5 -speed gear box. Even the automatic trans were extremely fuel efficient. I miss the good days with quality cars that you got for a great price.
amen Brother
Hello Sir, perfect job, you works like a boss👍and the best : no blabla ( in french), no speak ,only action!! That's great ! Congratulations, good Vib's from France ☮️🤗
Incredible amount of ability and patience. Beautiful build. Thanks for sharing!
I always loved the CRX. What a cool design. You did a great job on this.
Looks like a super fun car to drive !!!
Great work as always, love the organization and the tedious care it takes to complete a project in this manner 👍
Thanks. Lots of work, but worth it!

I LOVE THEM CRX VTEC ONE, I HAD TWO SILVER ONES IN 1993, HEAVY RESPECT TO YOU FOR BRINGING IT BACK TO LIFE, #SCOTLAND
First car was a 89 CRX Si and this just warms my heart. Great work!
You’re really a true craftsman, from just taping up the car, bodywork, all top notch! Looks incredible
Thanks!
This looks amazing one of the best if not the best crx build on youtube this makes me wanna buy a crx now keep up the amazing work!
Man, I was just so completely immersed in the video. The work you did was amazing and the musik and editing was spot on! Loved it.
Lovely restoration and glad you kept it as it was and not put it to standard.
Keeps its history too.
You are a true artist! Outstanding restoration!!!
You did a great job on this. Amazing restoration
As someone at the very beginning of a restoration, this is encouraging to watch.
i'm not really a car guy, but damn. This is art. the car looks brand new. a lot of time & patience went into this restoration. all out of a garage. i love it, & now want a honda.....
Holy crap that's been my dream car in silver with carbon for 21 years lol Beautiful car and amazing work!
Absolutely beautiful. Big props to you for saving another rex! ❤
I had a super clean black CRX SI back in the day. I loved that car. I now have an S2k. Wish I still had the CRX too.
Very clean restoration. I like this kind of restorations quite lot without all the unnecessary modifications.
Awesome overview and editing of all the other videos we saw and more! Fun to watch great video keep them coming! I’m headed to my garage this weekend to work on painting my crx’s fenders and hood can’t wait!
Good luck with your project!

Such beauty! This is quality content. Satisfying and clean.
Awesome to see good quality work for the do-it-yourselfers. I'm in the market for a CRX I know when I find one work needs to be done appreciate you showing me the proper way to restore that particular model
I had a '88 in high school, this was a pleasure to watch and see it come back to life.
This brings back old memories, amazing restoration, like the paint job .
The purist in me would have liked to see car returned to stock, but otherwise the it came out great. Thanks for rescuing it!
Those were the wheels to rock on a Honda mid 2000’s remember seeing them when I was like 7-8
Bloke! Awesome! Showing the little mistakes in all of it makes it real, keeps you real. Mad rig! Love your work!
Man, well done and beautifully shot ! Congrats!
I just been through the same process, bought a cheap second hand car that I already have in pristine condition. I don’t know about you but I’ve been through some different thoughts all along the process, for example when I was done with disamantling and starting to sand everything, I was starting to doubt if I can fulfill, wondering what did I bring myself into, then satisfaction when painting was done, and excitement when I was putting everything back. Now I’m so proud of the result and love this car almost as much as my main one.
I definitely went through the same thought process. It’s a long tough journey, but worth it. And I didn’t even completely disassemble this car. My newest one will require more disassembly.
You did a beautiful job Seth great work 🔥
Masterfully done! Quality is never an accident, and this video proves that. Again, well done!
absolute madness. only thing missing is the front badge! beautiful!!!
Your work speaks for itself. Keep up great work and them videos rolling.
I hope I can find one of these when I get rid of my current car, the crx has been my dream car for as long as I can remember
They are definitely getting more difficult to find!
man that has to be one of the cleanest crx's in this country hat's off to you my man fantastic job!! 👍
CRX MY FAV CHILDHOOD CAR.
I Miss my old 89 it was sooo beat up... But i loved it . funny story..the radio Antena was broken and there was still some of the metal looking parts around it and when i was drying it, it cut me .. Was bleeding bad and ended up driving home stick with just my right hand...while blood spilling on my jeans and seat..
Still have the scar to prove it hehe.. Then later on i ended buying an all motor crx si . it was the best thing ever..
Sold it .. And now hoping to buy another one ...but videos like yours fills me with joy ! Thank you very much for your hard work!! And i subscribed to your channel . waiting for more vids 👍😂😂
A “less is more” build will always get my attention. Simply amazing work.
Simple and clean. Love it. Lots of work in painting a car. You did great. Love those urethane bumpers. I had a set on my 90 hatchback si.
Me and my buddy are restoring a 1990 civic si so watching this was very motivating
Wow! All you did was paint the head cover and it ran like a charm! Honda’s really are the best!!
Bro this thing is cleannn!!! Love to see the work! I need this same work done to my Miata.
Thanks! Make it happen! Love miatas.
Yep. Need on my 07 Highlander Hybrid.
Looks so good! Only thing I would have done differently is removed the side skirts and door caps to clean behind and make sure has not rusted behind those.
I had an 90 CRX with the Wings West body kit back in high school. It was my pride and joy. Watching this made me miss my old whip.
I love videos like this. Of people spending time and energy making something better. Very satisfying results.

Great work!
But one thing I would definitely add is a aftermarket tail light. There is one that looks just like the original but the CRX logo lights up and I think it just looks amazing
Great job hands down. Awesome to see this type of classic get restored. Just can't believe you got it for 1k! Awesome deal
I had a car just like this when I was a young adult, man this brings back memories. I'm miss my car!
This homemade paint jobe is insane!
I love custom paint jobes
I would sell my ovaries to have a workshop for my CRX and atv!
Love the clean build, we need more of these out there
Honda Ballada Sport CR-X it was my first car . I loved her very much and I still love her . I 'm glad that you are also in awe of this Honda model! It turned out beautifully ! Pleases the eyes 👍
I’m 19 years of age and I’m really into cars since I was 8 and been wanting to start on my very first car project starting off with the 2000 honda civic. My main car I’m driving right now is a 2015 honda civic si, but I really want a project car from scratch.. Saved up more than $20k now. I think I’m going to do it, currently looking for a 2000 honda civic most of them are auto and it’s really hard trying to find a manual🤦🏻♂️
so no ones gonna realize u saved up 20k at 19 years old? good shit bro thats an accomplishment
The fitting at the seams whenever there is a body kit always irks me. I personally think this would have looked best as a resto job meaning all stock parts rather than that 80s buddy club-ish look. If you went as far as to give the engine an OEM refresh, why stop at the body.
Props for the do it all yourself part tho.
Because that 90/early 2000 style is part of the car now, honestly i love that he kept it that way
Best video I’ve watched all week. The result was amazing I got a bit emo watching it reminded me of my old crx that I let go 20 years ago. So many good memories, with the raw driving experience ain’t the same with new cars, too much power and no effort.
I dont know whats more impressive the amount of effort to making and editing this video or the effort you put into fixing the car mad skills the car looks dope AF ! ...wish I had your knowledge and skills to fixing cars like this been learning alot about cars and how to work on my car hopefully one day i can get to that level of expertise some day.
Everything looks close to stock I appreciate seeing a crx like that
All in one. Eye for buying the right car, mechanic skills, paint job, detailing.. what can you not do?
One of the best 10 minutes in my life. Subscribed!
Thanks for the kind words! And the subscribe!
I'm glad you resurrected this gem, it came out beautiful 👍
The man knows what he's doing...Great job 👏
Great work man love to see old Hondas get the love and respect they needed
Man taping is slow if work but then you paint it so quick. It's a satisfying project for sure
Car looks amazing..the fact that you kept the original engine and fixed the sunroof is a feat in itself
Good job on the makeshift paint booth! Looks like it worked pretty well. Smooth AF.
This man is a one stop shop! Great job 👏
Wow, this is beautiful; I just saw a CRX at my local Safeway and went down the rabbit hole. It looked like so much fun to work on this (though I'm sure it wasn't easy)! I would really love to drive one of these.
One of the best videos of any kind that I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Sir, that restoration was simply amazing.
Thank you.
The 89 looks amazing! It is like night and day from the 88. Both are solid , it's just the 89 looks more sporty. I had the 87 Civic and the opportunity for the 89 never presented it's self. I managed to let a 95 240SX slip through my hands over a mere $400. I am still kicking myself for that miss. Thanks for the memories.
Actually one of my most favorite cars ever. Super Clean Job!
I don’t know jack about cars really, but watching this process was satisfying af. Thank you for the share!
I had a red 88 si in the early 2000s. I loved that little car.
Amazing work! Thank You for keeping it the single jingle in it🙏🏼🙌🏼😍
I’m glad I saw y’all restore the engine. And not swap it. Shit gets old. Time to be original and different. Thanks guys . Tired of ppl copying others and not be their own. Good job
Had a 1984 CRX. Wish I still did. This is AMAZING. And what a cool car. Miss it.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frankly speaking, you're a genius! Not many people in this world can do just like you did.
awesome work, very clean! Honda CRX - the iconic sportscar I often saw and wished I had one, when I was younger :) Early 90s or so.
Glad you saved one!
car came out looking beautiful . some the attention to detail
80s and 90s, my favorite decades.
Great job restoring that awesome JDM car
Beautiful garage work !!!!!!!! That’s a collective car. Love Hondas. ❤️
Wow, I'm very impressed. Truly a work of art!
Very well done sir. I appreciate your attention to detail.
Top notch work! Love that you kept the Wings West body kit, I have one on my '91 SI Hatchback and it still gets lots of looks.
僕は日本でホンダに勤めていました。
これほどCRXを大切にしてくれる方が居るのはとても嬉しいです。
Nice restoration Bro, saved 1 from the junkyard. Respect 💯 Bro
One of the best restorations I’ve ever seen
How beautifully you done the job 👌🏾
just started a project car, I don't have much experience and after seeing this you've inspired me to not just put some rims and lower it but to actually restore my project car completely
Good luck! It’s a lot of work, but worth it when it’s all done.
